You always hear about the Power Women: the celebrities, the models, the world leaders, and the Instagram famous stars who take selfies with detox teas. But at Curtsy, we know influence and fame are not the same thing. Here’s how some of Curtsy’s power women are truly impacting the world this summer. You might not know who they are yet, but you definitely should.
This week only: 50% of all Curtsy orders will be donated to the #Girlboss Foundation.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know we love the term Girlboss. But do you know where it came from? Sophia Amoruso, founder of Nasty Gal, came up with it, and if you don’t know her, you should.
After dropping out of school and moving to San Francisco at 22, Sophia started selling vintage clothing on Ebay while bored at her job checking ID’s in the lobby of an art school. Today, the company does $250 million a year in sales and is growing fast.

Did you know that St. Jude Children’s hospital was founded by a comedian?

“Show me my way in life,” he promised the Saint, “and I will build you a shrine.”
